by Jack Gillespie With Netflix distributing more and more new series every year, the reality TV genre seems to have seen a reemergence, especially makeover shows. The successes of shows like Tidying Up with Marie Kondo and Amazing Interiors are solid proof of this. However, no recent makeover show compares to Queer Eye when it comes to sheer popularity. When the original series from the 2000s got the reboot in 2018, it became an instant phenomenon. In the days following the release of the first season, you couldn’t get far online without running into a gif of one of the new Fab Five, especially fan favorite and self care guru Jonathan Van Ness. It wasn’t just him, though; the entire queer quintet of Van Ness (grooming), Antoni Porowski (food and wine), Tan France (fashion), Karamo Brown (culture/lifestyle), and Bobby Berk (interior design) were a charismatic powerhouse, especially as an ensemble. Just like when they hit the scene with the first season, the Fab Five keep things consistently enjoyable with Season 3.
